TNNLS Financial Assistance Scheme

Tamil Nadu Law School (TNNLS) was established by the Government of Tamil Nadu to provide high quality legal education in the Country. TNNLS is aware that quality legal education needs to be made accessible to students from all sections of the society. The progressive reservation and scholarship policies of the Government of Tamil Nadu has ensured that students from marginalized sections of the society have got admission to TNNLS.
